Daily Outfit: My Trilby

The menswear hat...it’s been on my cool weather shopping list for quite a while. I finally picked one up that I really love, thanks to the ladies over at Milk & Honey. I can always count on this boutique for unique clothing and accessories that are not going to be seen on absolutely everyone during the season. This particular hat wasn't even on the sales floor yet, but when it was brought out from behind the scenes (thanks ShopGirl!!!) I knew it was exactly what I was looking for.

So I created an outfit around my trilby...it's fun to have new inspiration in your closet! The trilby reminds me of Woody Allen movies and the 1920′s. I ended up with a simple combo: flirty feminine plus a dash of menswear finished off with a low side bun hairstyle. Stay tuned for more trilby sightings over the next few months.

PS in case you were thinking I was trying to be fancy and rename the fedora, there is a subtle difference in the brim shapes between the two styles. The trilby has a shorter brim, usually curved in the back, and fedoras are the wider-brimmed ones. The word comes from the title of an 1894 novel by George du Maurier's 1894 novel, the heroine of which wore this style hat. I just wanted to throw a lil bit of fashion history at you...hope y'all enjoyed!
